Your mobo should support all current graphics cards from slowest to fastest..What's your budget for the upgrade? Can't you upgrade the whole system? Its so old !

Don't. Save up the money and get a 4830. Minimum, get a 4670 which beats the 9500GT by a fair ammount. See:

Considering that the 9500GT is ~$60-65 (before MIR), the 4670(~$60 after MIR; $70 before MIR) is a very good price vs. performance option. Prices based off of Newegg's current prices.

As I told you, all current gfx cards use the 16x PCI-E slot which you have, so just snap it in and install the driver!

^Ah.... you never said any thing about being outside US. No idea where you can buy them in India. AFAIK Newegg doesn't ship to India. Perhaps if you have family/friends/relatives in the US they may be able to ship it to you?
